The miners work day in and day out
Picking their world of resource throughout
Examine and dig, examine and dig
Becoming a pattern as they no longer live
Examine and dig, examine and dig
Looking for necessities the world no longer gives
Stiff and swollen their hands will ache
Begging for mercy as they're verging a break
Examine and dig, examine and dig
Finding desolation as they no longer live
Examine and dig, examine and dig
Destroying the world that was once so big

I can't see winter as beautiful
Within the winter months, the sky turns gray without any remorse. Almost as if it were being overtaken by an outside source of power.
The once beautiful blue sky is no more. The sun, that usually stays consistent, is almost unwilling to peek through the damped gray curtain.
Like it doesn't want to witness what is happening to the beautiful world it's created.
The strongest trees grow bare. Their outstretched limbs snapping and breaking trying to exist. Instead of holding their budding beautiful leaves, they must withstand the heaviness of winter.
A glaze of frost and ice cover them, and they are no longer flourishing. They're forced into a kind of remission, waiting for the beauty to return.
The ground is frozen. With every step hard and dense, with an echoing crunching sound. Animals no longer scurry about, or sing in the trees. Leaving a loud stillness engulfing the once lively land.
Snow will fall and soon cover what is left. Covering our eyes to what has happened. The plants are dying, and our beauty is dwindling. Forced to retreat into our fortresses and force the feeling of discomfort when we go outside. A feeling that otherwise is a feeling of excitement.
I can't see winter a beautiful.

It starts very slowly
As slow as the snow that first falls on the top of a mountain
The snow keeps falling
slowly
Each flake of pureness falls and becomes still
sitting
waiting
One single speck of snow that falls on the sondering pile
becomes a burden
Everything breaks
Silence breaks and the sounds of crashing and crackling of sticks and twigs. The trees are taken away by the still pure beauty of mother nature. The silent snow and all of it's stillness becomes a ravishing and destructive force in the matter of seconds
Nothing stays still
Nothing stays beautiful

My head ******* aches with all of the thoughts I meant to say bouncing around from skull to skull and bone to bone and my nerves are shot
my stomach growls because it's begging for life
and i am choosing to ignore everything

In the woods I trail to see,
Sticks and moss and covered trees
Still and silent, I hear the wind
The grass doesn't move, the trees don't grin
Covering where they used to shade,
The leaves lay still at their grave
I wander deeper and start to run,
In search of warmth, a rising run
Still and silent, I hear the wind
The grass doesn't move, the trees don't grin
Clouds roll slowly overhead,
Keeping sunlight from being shed
I spot a cave and start to explore,
As the rain beings to pour
Still and silent, I hear the wind
The grass doesn't move, the trees don't grin
I feel the warmth inside the cave,
Protecting me from nature's rage
I find the comfort to rest my wears
Until I feel that I can bear
Still and silent, I hear the wind
With dancing grass and trees that grin
Birds are perched on each little one,
Singing to welcome the emerging sun

I am as dead as the first leaves that fell when the temperature started dropping
I sit at the bottom of the pile under the hundreds of others that are just like me
I am damp and discolored
Just like everyone else
Except I hold the weight of them all
And noticed the least

Everyone grabs a hold of me all at once
Each hand is pulling on my bones
and clawing at my skin
Digging their nails deeper as I make my way in a particular direction
I feel the rough texture of the hands
I feel it at all times of day
I feel it when I go outside
I feel it when I wake up
I feel it when I sleep
I feel it when I eat
I feel it always
I'm never without the hands
clawing at my existence
Dragging me in all of the directions I could go
but never leading me to a place I want to be
Sometimes they lead me to my bedroom
Decorated in all my artwork
They sit me down so I have a clear view of my creativity
I see the hard work and motivation I had
But I never feel any spark
Sometimes they lead me to my kitchen
and I will look at all the food my body needs
They pick out the foods that I desire the most
But then I get lead into the bathroom
and they kneel me on the cold tile floor
with my own hands propping my head above the toilet
Often they lead me to school
To classes that I listen in
that all have the same white walls
and same tile floor
and I hear all of the teachers saying the same kinds of things
That we must prepare for our future
You must apply for colleges
We have to prepare you for college
Your future is now
Everything is important
You need to do this
Without this you won't be successful
my stomach gets sick my hands shiver with anxiety
I lastly will get lead into my living room
To a familiar chair that has a soft feeling of home
I notice a stack of pictures and polaroids
slightly tanned from age
of the memories I've forgotten about
and I see my dad
I see him smiling while he's holding my brother as an infant
A grin so full of happiness that you would never think it could fade
Then I get pulled to his house
I see him standing there
He's thin and gray
and his smile has faded
I don't get the soft, home feeling
Because this isn't home

We all have these ideas in our mind
Of things we dream and hope to find
We're still and we're silent, as we ponder throughout
The lives that we live, as we think we're without
We always need more, or we always need less
We always need something, that we cannot possess
Though without dreams, there wouldn't be life
A dream without action, will never suffice

It starts very subtle with a simple kind of rhythm
Then fills the room to the very brim with passion of sound
Dancing through my head with such poise and grace
It tip-toes down my spine balancing on my vertebrates
Makes it way to my throat without hesitation
Thus curling my lips into a smile so sweet
I close my eyes and drift to sleep

We all get stranded out in the field
with a routine of things that never yield
The happiness we so deservingly seek
Turns mundane and makes us weak
We snip and cut at everything warm
Until our bones will show what we think is the norm
Tear at our flesh and rip through our lives
becoming the things we all so despise
We make ourselves sick with the image of love
With sharp thorny roses and disease ridden doves
